He slowly clicked on the notification email in his mailbox, and the page slowly loaded.

Then, the first line of words he saw was: "We are pleased to inform you..."

These words made Li Hao's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Then he quickly scanned the email and confirmed that he had been accepted.

At that moment, Li Hao almost wanted to jump up.

He took a deep breath and decided to share the news with a few people right away.

The first call he made was to Liu Xia. Li Hao always felt that Liu Xia was one of his closest friends, so he naturally had no hesitation in sharing this joy with her.

"Liu Xia, I have good news to tell you!" Li Hao's voice was filled with excitement.

Liu Xia seemed a little busy, but when she heard Li Hao's voice, she immediately stopped what she was doing: "What's wrong, Brother Hao? What's the good news? Is it what I thought?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "I was accepted into the statistics PhD program at UCB!"

He heard a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Liu Xia's cheerful laughter.

"Really? That's great! I knew you could do it! You're going to be amazing!"

Liu Xia's tone was filled with genuine joy.

She knew that Li Hao was not only a successful entrepreneur, but also had unlimited potential in academia. UCB's admission to him was absolutely well-deserved.

"Thank you, Xiaoxia! This is inseparable from your continued support." Li Hao said sincerely.

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao quickly dialed Wang Qiang's number again.

He knew that Wang Qiang was his benefactor on this road, who not only provided him with a lot of advice but also provided him with great help.

Wang Qiang, who received the call, did not respond directly. Instead, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? From your tone, it seems like something big is going on."

"Senior, I was admitted to UCB! I can study for a PhD in statistics!" Li Hao was excited.

"Wow, this is really great news!" Wang Qiang's tone was full of teasing. "I knew you could do it, Li Hao. It's because you're so smart that you can do everything so well. It's only natural that you were accepted by UCB."

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wang Qiang's words: "Thank you for your compliment. All this is inseparable from your support."

"You have the ability, so it's certainly worth it," Wang Qiang said, his tone becoming more serious. "I do have a suggestion. Since you've decided to pursue further studies, you must remember that competition at UCB is extremely fierce. You must always be vigilant. The academic path is far more complex than the business world. All you have now is an admission ticket."

"I understand," Li Hao nodded. Although Wang Qiang's words were a reminder, they also made him more determined. "I will work hard and will not let everyone down."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao's next call was to Dean Bai Tao. He had had in-depth academic exchanges with Professor Bai before, and he always respected the dean's academic achievements.

After the call was connected, Li Hao's tone was a little cautious: "Hello, Professor Bai! I have good news to share with you. I have been accepted into the statistics doctoral program at UCB."

Bai Tao's relaxed laughter came from the other end of the phone: "I knew you would be admitted, Li Hao. You did very well this time. Congratulations!"

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Dean. I'm very happy to receive your encouragement."

"Remember, academia has its own rules, and you must be prepared." Bai Tao's voice, though calm, revealed a seriousness that could not be ignored. "After going to UCB, you will meet many outstanding scholars, and some young people may even have more potential than you. You must always remain humble and keep improving."

"I understand, teacher. I will meet the new challenge with the best attitude."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had taken the most difficult step and the road ahead might be even more difficult, but he was ready.

Liu Xia, Wang Qiang and Bai Tao, their congratulations and support made him feel very warm.

At this moment, Li Hao suddenly realized that what he would face next was not only the challenge of academic research, but also the issue of how to find a balance between business and academia.

This road may not be easy, but he is no longer afraid of any challenge because this is his true pursuit.

Li Hao picked up his phone and stared at the UCB email notification on the screen. A long-lost feeling of anticipation surged in his heart.

The future belongs to those who bravely pursue their dreams, and he has taken a firm step.

Just a few days after Li Hao received the admission notice from UCB, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The keynote speaker of an academic forum had an emergency and was unable to attend, so the organizers were anxiously looking for a replacement speaker in the venue.

Coincidentally, Li Haozheng and several professors were waiting outside the venue, ready to attend the lecture as guests.

The organizer's anxious eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped on Li Hao.

"Mr. Li Hao, could you please explain your latest research direction? We really need a replacement speaker." A host said in an almost pleading tone.

Li Hao hesitated for a moment. He had not prepared a speech and was not sure if he could get into the moment quickly.

But soon, he thought calmly and decided to seize this unexpected opportunity.

He knew that this was not only an opportunity to showcase his academic achievements, but also a critical moment to further integrate with the academic community.

"Okay, let me try." Li Hao said.

Almost at the moment he finished saying this, Li Hao walked to the podium and faced the scholars in the audience.

He gently sorted out the information in his hands, adjusted his state, and then began to speak in a very natural tone:

"Dear scholars, today I will share some of my thoughts on the application of statistical methods in business data analysis. Although I am not a full-time researcher in the academic field, my team and I have often used these methods to help companies optimize their decision-making throughout my career. I hope today's sharing will bring you some new insights."

At the beginning of the lecture, Li Hao's tone was relaxed but full of confidence. He did not follow the traditional order of explanation, but directly used his own actual cases in business as an introduction.

He talked about how to use big data and statistical models to make market forecasts in corporate management, and how to help companies avoid risks and make more accurate decisions through precise statistical analysis.

All of this is closely related to the projects he has participated in, and is also closely related to his business strategy and development plan.

The scholars present began to listen attentively.

Li Hao's explanation was not limited to theoretical presentations. During the explanation, he also specifically mentioned the practical problems he encountered and how to solve common difficulties in data analysis in the business world.

For example, he talked about how to deal with data inconsistency, how to design experiments to eliminate the interference of external factors on research results, and even how to use mathematical models to predict the market trends of the company's products.

These are real issues that are rarely addressed in academia but that the business world needs to face all the time.

While giving his lecture, Li Hao used fluent English to explain the data model and related statistical principles. The content of his lecture was both profound and down-to-earth, especially the actual cases he mentioned, which made the scholars present shine.

Li Hao quickly captured the attention of the entire audience. He leisurely explained each complex statistical concept, his concise language making the previously difficult content easily understood.

The participants began to nod unconsciously, expressing their understanding. Even when Li Hao demonstrated a data analysis method, several scholars showed interest and asked questions.

After the lecture, several well-known professors immediately gathered around.

Everyone did not rush to leave, but instead raised their own questions and opinions, hoping to further explore the academic insights put forward by Li Hao.

Li Hao handled it well and discussed with them calmly.

He not only answered the questions, but also was able to propose new ideas on certain academic details and even provided a different perspective for their research.

"Mr. Li, I think the data privacy protection issue you mentioned is worthy of further study. Could you share your research findings with our team?" one of the professors said. "I've also touched on this issue in my recent research, and your approach aligns very well with ours. Perhaps we can collaborate further."

Li Hao smiled faintly and replied calmly, "This topic is just a small attempt when I was working on a project at the company. There are still many unknowns in academic research that need to be further explored."

He did not directly state that his research in this field was close to maturity, but spoke lightly, appearing extremely humble.

In fact, Li Hao knew that the questions and cooperation invitations from these scholars were not just polite words. Many people showed great interest in his achievements at the intersection of business and academia.

Another professor continued, "I'm very interested in your statistical methods, especially how to use big data to make accurate predictions in business decisions. I'm also considering applying this approach to my research. Would you be willing to publish an article on this topic? We'd be happy to help you."

"I'm happy to share." Li Hao smiled and replied.

Although he did not make much preparation in advance, in this impromptu lecture, Li Hao demonstrated his profound skills in the business field and unique perspective on data analysis, which also impressed the scholars present with his academic level.

This unexpected opportunity not only allowed Li Hao to establish connections with many heavyweights in the academic world, but also laid a good foundation for his future doctoral studies at UCB.

At the dinner after the meeting, several scholars found Li Hao again, hoping to have in-depth exchanges.

Although Li Hao is busy with his career, he always maintains his passion for academic exploration.

At their constant invitation, he had a long academic discussion with several professors at the dinner.

The content of the conversation extended from business data analysis to the application of big data in various industries, and then to the importance of statistics in social development. Every point of view of Li Hao was highly recognized by them.

That night, when Li Hao was about to leave, he had already gained some fame in the academic circle.

Although he did not show much, the scholars present had quietly regarded him as a person worthy of cooperation.

At this point, a young professor suddenly interrupted and said, "Mr. Li, your ideas are very interesting, especially in terms of data preprocessing and model adaptability. They are indeed worthy of attention."

"However, I would like to raise a question about the interpretability of the model. In business decisions, in addition to accuracy, decision makers also place great emphasis on understanding and trusting the model. Does your model achieve this?"

"Can you explain in detail how to improve the interpretability of models so that decision makers can fully understand the basis for the model's decisions?"
